Chapter 33: Match
A vast rumbling followed a dust cloud. The ground shook in a rhythmic beat as a powerful figure moved. Despite it being alone, deep in monster territory, it ran unopposed even with all the chaos it created. Any monster foolish enough to try had already died.
They all felt the change in the air. The Red Swarm which terrorized the local wildlife suddenly disappeared. But monsters knew. A powerful predator, especially an Ant colony, doesn't just die.
Its disappearance meant something worse had been born.
Something that could destroy even a monster Ant colony. And it was coming.

"Elian, just say you're lost already. You said your school only took 4 hours to get to the dungeon, we've been running for days now. You're obviously going in the wrong direction. Again! What is it with men and asking for directions?"
Bianca flew beside Elian as she lied on her back. Although neither of them needed sleep, food or shelter, being on the move non-stop was boring.
"Not helping, Bianca. It's not like you are any better. Sad that even with all the power in the world you still suck at directions. Just how did you even manage to know where to go when you were on the run."
The woman pouted as she retorted in anger.
"Being directionally challenged is a trait shared by those with an IQ over 140. I used the tried and tested Kinetic Orientation Method used by the first explorers."
Elian, still running, kept an eye out for danger.
